5 introduction to the Shaanxi Bell and Drum Tower guide word sample (a)
Hello tourists, we are now seeing this ancient fortress is the Ming Xi'an city wall. Ming Xi'an city wall is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty Chang'an Imperial City on the basis of the building up. It is one of the most famous city walls in the history of China's late medieval machine, but also one of the most well-preserved of China's ancient city walls to date, and at the same time, it is also the world's largest surviving and most complete ancient military castle facilities.
City walls are the traditional defense facilities of Chinese cities in the Cold War era. As we have seen at the 6,000 year old Half-slope site, the Half-slope people dug deep ditches around their settlements to protect them from wild animals and outside attacks. If we consider the Hanpo village as the first sprout of a city, the deep ditch was the equivalent of a city wall at that time. After the invention of the wall-building technique, the city wall was born at the same time with the city and became the distinctive symbol of the ancient city. According to the historical record, "The city was built to defend the king, and the city was built to house the king." This was in the late primitive society about 4500 years ago.
Xi'an, as an ancient capital of a thousand years, has built city walls many times over the generations. Most of them were buried by the dust of history. But the wall we see still dates back to the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century AD. In 581 AD, Yang Jian, the founder of the Sui Dynasty, built Daxing City at the northern foot of Longshou Plateau in the following year. Daxing City was a large-scale and tightly structured city. In addition to the outer city walls surrounding the city, the city also had walls around the palace and the imperial city, forming a pattern of "a city within a city". After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty Daxing City was renamed Chang'an City. Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty basically followed the scale and layout of Daxing City, only the expansion and construction of Daxing City. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen took Tang Zhaozong hostage and fled to Luoyang, and Han Jian, the military governor of Youguojun, who stayed in Chang'an for military defense needs, gave up the outer city and the palace city, and narrowed down Chang'an City to the Imperial City, with the walls of the Imperial City as the walls of Chang'an City, forming the scale of Chang'an City from the Fifth Generation to the Yuan Dynasty. In 1369 A.D., Xu Da, a general of the Ming Dynasty, entered Shaanxi from Shanxi and changed the original Fengtian Road to Xi'an, which meant "long-lasting peace in the West". This was the beginning of Ming rule in Xi'an, and the prelude to the construction of the Ming wall in Xi'an. Because of the high political and military status of Xi'an in history, the Ming Dynasty paid more attention to the construction of the Xi'an city wall in the process of building the city wall for the whole country. Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Changxing Marquis Geng Shuanwen and Commander Pu Ying to preside over the construction. It took eight years, from the third year of Hongwu (1370 AD) to the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378 AD), for the construction of the Xi'an Wall to be completed. The Ming Xi'an city wall was built to be tall and strong, with the western and southern walls basically the same as the scope of the Imperial City of Chang'an in Tang Dynasty. The eastern and northern walls were expanded by one-third respectively. The shape of this wall is a rectangle. The wall was 12 meters high, 12?14 meters wide at the top and 15?18 meters wide at the bottom. The southern wall is 4,256 meters long, the northern wall is 4,262 meters long, the western wall is 2,706 meters long, and the eastern wall is 2,886 meters long, with a circumference of 13.9 kilometers. The original Xi'an city wall was made of loess rammed into the ground. At the base and top of the wall, there was also a layer of 80 centimeters thick and 45 centimeters thick, respectively, of triad soil. This triad was made by mixing loess with lime, glutinous rice juice and kiwi juice. After drying, it is as hard as stone, and cannot be plowed with a pickaxe.
Xi'an's city wall was built in the early years of the Ming Dynasty and has been repaired many times over the generations. In 1568, Mr. Zhang Zhi, the commander of Shaanxi Province, laid bricks inside and outside the original wall. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, in 1781, Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi, carried out large-scale repairs to the city wall. Along the old city wall first around the cornerstone after the footing, and then tamped with loess layer by layer, to the top of the laying of bricks, and the entire outer wall of the wall thickened brick surface. Every 40?60 meters inside the wall, with brick masonry sinks, excluding the top surface of the wall rain, Xi'an city wall of long-term protection has played an important role. Especially since 1983, Shaanxi Province and the Xi'an Municipal People's Government have carried out large-scale repairs to the ancient city wall, replacing the demolished East Gate, North Gate Arrow Tower, South Gate Gate Tower, Suspension Bridge, and building a park around the city, which has revitalized this ancient building.
The ancient city wall of Xi'an includes a series of military facilities such as moat, drawbridge, gate tower, archery tower, main tower, corner tower, enemy tower, daughter wall, battlements and so on, which constitutes a scientific, strict and complete military defense system.
The moat, also known as the "city trench", is the first line of defense of the city wall. It can block the enemy attack, and even take advantage of favorable terrain to eliminate the enemy. The moat surrounding the Xi'an city wall is 20 meters wide and 7 meters deep. Across the moat is the city gate, and the only channel connecting the moat and the city gate is the drawbridge. The drawbridge has iron rings on both sides of the bridge head, through the thick iron rope and hemp rope, tied to the gate on the building, with pulleys to control the lifting and lowering. Usually, the soldiers guarding the city to listen to the command of the morning bell and the evening drum, the morning lowered the drawbridge, open the city gate; night raised the drawbridge, cut off the traffic. Once the war, the drawbridge rose, the city gate closed, the city gate has become a strong closed battle fortress.
The city gate is the focus of the city defense system, but also the weak point. In normal times, it is the access to the city. During the war, it is the primary goal of the attacking and defending sides. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to improve the city gate defense facilities. Particularly noteworthy technical breakthrough is the use of the coupon arch type city gate. Before the Ming Dynasty, the city gate followed the brick gate over the beam structure. From a military point of view, the biggest weakness of this gate is unable to withstand fire. Therefore, the city gate is often set up on the eye pool, in order to prevent the enemy fire attack. Therefore, the idiom of "a fire at the city gate will bring disaster to the fish pond" was left behind. Coupon arch city gate from the emergence of a fundamental solution to this problem, a color brick structure not only makes the gate more solid, but also can effectively resist fire attack.
In ancient times, both sides of the battle, when the enemy crossed the moat, the city gate but blocked the way. Therefore, in the attacking side often have a few people carrying heavy wooden stakes to come to the door, it will take a long time to knock the door open, and sometimes may not open. Ming Xi'an city gate is very strong, the door with a thickness of up to 16 cm made of wood, a door to use 2.8 cubic meters of wood, weighing 3.19 tons. Door up and down the ramp with 9 wide 15 centimeters, 23 centimeters thick iron reinforcement, each two iron bars at intervals, nailed with 180 four-pronged save the top of the iron mushroom needle. The entire door **** 1800 iron mushroom pins. Such a dense group of nails, crowded the door of the wood, increasing the rigidity of the door, so that arrows can not be shot into. Some of the city gate also in the door fan after the door hole, set up a horse pile, trap pit, thistles, etc., to further block the enemy attack.
In order to improve the insurance coefficient of the defense of the city gate, the city gate is actually composed of a triple composition, namely: gate tower, arrow tower and the main building. Gate building in the outermost, its role is to lift the drawbridge, also known as "Que Lou", "woodcutting floor". Symbolize the door que, also used to beat the night. Gate House three sides of the wall and the main city wall connected to form a half-moon shaped three-dimensional space, called "Sheep and Horses City". Even if the enemy attacked the gate of the gate tower, it is like entering the urn, will be attacked from all sides of the condescending, so this space downstairs is also called "urn city". Arrow tower in the center, the front and both sides have windows for archery. Arrow towers are connected to each other by walls, which are also called "urns", and troops can be stationed inside the urns. Whether the enemy enters the first urn or the second urn, the archery tower can play the role of attack. The main building in the most, the main building above the tower is the theme of the city gate building. Tower from the ground height of about 32 meters, 43.2 meters long, triple flying eaves, four corners of the warped, corridors around, solemn and steady, is the main general guarding the command of the place. Outside the city wall, every 120 meters there is a protruding outside the main body of the wall, 20 meters wide, 12 meters long enemy platform, commonly known as "horse face". The entire city wall **** have "horse face" 98, "horse face" above the building called the enemy building, two enemy platforms 120 meters apart, just to form a three-dimensional crossfire area. It is also the bow, crossbow, arrow and other ancient long-range cold weapons effective killing range. And it is 60 meters on one side, for "a stone's throw away". Such a layout is easy to shoot from the side of the attacking enemy. Therefore, the ancients have commented that "there is a city without a platform, but also as no city, is the city so guard people, platform and so guard the city also." The enemy building for soldiers to avoid the wind and rain and reserve supplies. On the outside of the wall, there are short pheasants, also known as the "stack wall", the entire wall *** there are 5984 short pheasants. The wall had battlements and square holes for archery and lookout. Inside the short wall known as the "daughter wall", the wall is 1 meter high, there is no palisade, its role is to prevent soldiers from walking into the wall. At each corner of the city wall of Xi'an, there is a tower called "Corner Tower". If you go around the city for a week, you will find that the four corners of the city wall, only the southwest corner is rounded, the other three corners are right angles, so why is this? In fact, this corner is to maintain the Mongolian style of the Yuan Dynasty Chang'an City corner rounded shape. Ming City wall in the Sui, Tang, Yuan Dynasty wall site on the basis of remodeling and become, the scope and Tang Chang'an City Imperial City range is basically the same.
In the urn formed by the archery tower and the main building, there is the same to the head of the city horse road. Slow on no steps, easy to get on and off the war horse. The whole city **** built 11 places to board the city horse road. The door at the bottom of the roadway is vermillion, commonly known as the "big red door". During the war, this is the main thoroughfare for the deployment of troops, must ensure unimpeded access. In order to prevent the enemy spies mixed into the city wall guard troops, the boarding of the city horse road guarded closely, usually do not allow soldiers to guard into private, but also do not allow idle people close to stay. When the army banned the night cannon, the iron gate will be locked.
Xi'an city wall in addition to the Ming Dynasty in the east, west, south and north there are four doors: Changle Gate, Anding Gate, Yongning Gate, Anyuan Gate, with the change of the years, the city gate also happened kind of. Various changes. Now we can see in addition to these four doors, you can also see: Do not Curtain Gate, Zhuquamen, Hanguangmen, Yuxiangmen, Zhongshanmen, Shangdemen, Jianguomen, Hepingmen, Wenchangmen, etc., the origin of these names also reflects the ancient city from one side of the decline and rise.
Ming Xi'an city wall shows the ingenuity of the ancient working people of China, it is a long history, majestic posture, mysterious color to attract tourists from all directions. Well, Xi'an city wall will visit here, we will continue to take you to visit the Bell and Drum Tower. Thank you all!
Bell tower and drum tower is a unique building of ancient Chinese cities. Bells and drums were originally the earliest percussion instruments to appear in China, and they have been in existence for at least 3,000 years. Initially, they were used as rituals and musical instruments for sacrifices, pilgrimage ceremonies, and entertaining the gods. Around the Spring and Autumn period, that is, the eighth century BC began to be used for military command. Ancient Chinese city both military castle nature, in addition to the city around the construction of walls, digging trenches, set up suspension bridges, with the matching also need to build in the center of the city as a command center bell and drum tower. Usually to morning bells and drums to report the time of day, regularly open and close the drawbridge, emergency is used to alarm martial law, commanding the city's defenses. This tight city defense system in the Ming Dynasty development to its peak. Xi'an is the northwest military and political town of the Ming Dynasty, its Bell Tower and Drum Tower from the architectural scale, historical value or artistic value of each measure, are among the top of the country of the same kind of building.
We now see the building is the Bell Tower. Bell Tower is located in the city of Xi'an at the intersection of four east-west and north-south streets, covers an area of 11,260 square meters, the floor area is 1,378 square meters. It was built in 1384 A.D., the 17th year of the Ming Dynasty, and was originally located in Yingxiangguan on Xidajie, about 1,000 meters from its current location. At that time, Yingxiangguan was the center of Xi'an, but 200 years after the bell tower was built, as the center of the city shifted eastward, the city gates were rebuilt, and the new east, south, west and north avenues were formed, the bell tower located in Yingxiangguan became increasingly seemingly out of the center of the city. To the Ming Shenzong Wanli 10 years, that is, in 1582 AD, in Shaanxi governor Gong Maohsien presided over, the bell tower to a whole demolition, moved to this site. According to the bell tower of the inscription records, move the construction project in addition to re-construction of the base, the wooden structure of the building is all the original original. So the cost is not much, the project quickly.
Bell Tower is a typical Ming Dynasty architectural style, building height of 36 meters, heavy eaves arch, save the tip of the towering, slightly warped eaves, gorgeous and solemn. By the base, the building and the roof of the three parts. The base is square, each side 35.5 meters long, 8.6 meters high, all made of green brick. The four sides of the base in the middle of each a height and width are 6 meters cross coupon hole. The building is a square wooden structure, side length of 22 meters, 26 meters high, four sides of five openings, outside the corridor around, inside the two-story building, the building has a wooden ladder circling up. Inside the building up and down two square hall, displaying a variety of valuable porcelain and red nanmu furniture since the Ming Dynasty, four doors covered with relief paintings, style thick and simple and vivid. The roof for the four corners of the pointed structure, covered with turquoise glazed tiles, the top of the big dome up to 5 meters high, inside the wooden core, outside the copper skin, copper skin and then foil dressing a layer of gold, glittering gold, brilliant.
The northwest corner of the bell tower is displayed on a Ming Dynasty iron bell, weighing 5 tons, the bell side of the cast gossip pattern. This bell was built in the Ming Dynasty, that is, between 1465 and 1487 AD. But it is much smaller than the bronze bell hanging in the bell tower earlier. The original bell in the Bell Tower was the Jingyun Bell, which was cast during the Jingyun period of the Tang Dynasty. This bell is now collected in the Xi'an Beilin Museum. It is said that after the bell tower was moved from Yingxiangguan to the present site, although the size of the building style did not change, but the Jingyun bell could not ring. There was no choice but to replace it. For the Jing Yun bell does not ring the reason, some people think it is "a long time ago, Shen Wu has the spirit", do not want to be hot move; Some people say, the bell placed indoors just like "to be urn to call", then should be moved outside the building. But in any case, this adds a layer of mystery to the history of the bell tower.
In order to move the Jingyun bell to the newly built bell tower, when the west section of West Street built a sloping bridge, the use of bridge slopes to the Jingyun bell transported to the bell tower. It is said that the "bridge Zikou" is also so named. Bell Tower inside the west wall embedded in the Bell Tower Song" and "bell tower record" inscription. The Bell Tower Song was composed by Gong Maohsien, the governor of Shaanxi who built the Bell Tower, when he was dismissed from his post and went to Beijing. In the poem, the bell tower was warmly praised. The Bell Tower Record" was made by Zhang Kai, the governor who supervised the construction of the Bell Tower, and detailed the life of the Bell Tower. On the door of the Bell Tower there are 64 woodcut relief story paintings***, including Mulan from the army, Chang'e to the moon, Liu Yi passes the book, the Eight Immortals across the sea and so on. These wood carving relief story, to the bell tower adds a lot of historical interest. After the founding of the country, the Xi'an Municipal People's Government carried out three large-scale repairs to the Bell Tower, so that this ancient building has renewed its former style.
With the Bell Tower is opposite the Drum Tower. Drum Tower is located in the northwest corner of the Bell Tower. Drum Tower doorway for the bottom of the north-south direction, north of the Beiyuanmen, south of West Street. Drum Tower was built in the thirteenth year of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, that is, 1380 AD, four years earlier than the Bell Tower, and the Bell Tower is a sister building. In the first floor of the Drum Tower on the north side of a huge drum, and the Bell Tower on the morning bell to form the evening drum, so called the Drum Tower. Drum Tower covers an area of 1999 square meters, building area of 1804 square meters. The building is rectangular, with a total height of 33 meters and a base height of 8 meters.

5 introduction to the Shaanxi Bell and Drum Tower tour guide words (two)
Hello tourists, I'm the tour guide of the Bell and Drum Towers and the city wall along the tour guide xx The bell of the Bell Tower interprets the ancient simplicity of the ancient city of Xi'an and the richness of the ancient city of history. In the coming time, you will enjoy the scenery along the Bell and Drum Towers and the city wall, and at the same time, you will also be able to feel the other side of the charm of the ancient city of Xi'an, that is, Xi'an's food culture, talking about Xi'an's food, can you tell us what are the more famous snacks in Xi'an?
Xi'an's food culture is full of rich northwest flavor, tasting Xi'an's flavorful snacks is a great pleasure to travel to Xi'an, whether it is always loved by the people of Xi'an mutton steamed buns, or the famous "Xi'an dumpling feast" at home and abroad, all with distinctive local characteristics.
On my right are two buildings imitating the Ming and Qing dynasties. I don't know if you have noticed a sentence on the buildings that reads "Dumplings of ancient flavor, legendary quality of DeFaChang", but this is the old Chinese brand DeFaChang, famous for its dumpling feasts at home and abroad. If you want to try it, you can go with each other after our trip to experience the extraordinary features of DeFaChang, and also to tell you one unfortunate thing: I haven't tasted the dumplings here either! I'm sure it deserves its reputation for being the flavor of the ages! After the dumplings, some of you are asking where they sell the lamb dumplings? So please follow me, we can clearly see that next door to the DeFaChang there is a restaurant with the same architectural style? Tongshengxiang. At the entrance of the same Shengxiang we will not notice a sculpture, so we can say that this sculpture shows which one of the eight monsters in Shaanxi? (stools do not sit squatting up) with Shengxiang main beef and mutton burgers, a variety of snacks, and the traditional characteristics and modern fashion into one, so come to this place to eat, I think we will feel the colorful culture of Xi'an!
Through the Bell and Drum Tower Square, we are now to the robust and grand, elegant and beautiful Drum Tower, the Drum Tower of the streets on both sides of the ancient antique buildings, a variety of well-known Xi'an snacks have everything, so I would like to ask you, Xi'an's most famous snacks a street is what street? It is self-evident that Hui Min Snack Street, visitors to Xi'an who have the opportunity to come to Hui Min Street will think that Xi'an Hui Min Street has its own unique side, so why do you say so? I think not only because of the street on both sides of a large number of food stores and jewelry stores to bring us unlimited attraction, but also because of the deep cultural connotation of this street.
Huimin Street generally refers to the north-south street from Gulou to Beiyuanmen, but sometimes it is also connected to Huajuexiang, Xiyangshi and Dapiyuan. As the name suggests, Hui Min Street is a place where Hui people live. Xi'an Hui Min Street is a street in the Hui Min District, about 500 meters, characterized by stone pavement, green trees
shade, the road on both sides of the ancient imitation of the Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, stores on both sides of the business is mainly to operate food and drink and some of the Shaanxi characteristics of the ornaments are mainly, and are operated by the Hui Min, with a strong halal characteristics, loved by foreign tourists.
We now see the street on both sides of the restaurant are authentic Muslim restaurants. There are several famous restaurants such as Halal Pingwa barbecue restaurant, Jia San soup dumplings, red and red pickled fried rice, DapiYuan old Sun family mutton steamed buns and so on. There is a funny legend about Xi'an's mutton steamed buns, according to legend, the Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was trapped in Chang'an before he became the emperor, and lived a life of enduring drink and starvation, one day he came to a store where beef and mutton were being cooked, and the shopkeeper saw that he was very pitiful, so he let him bring his own dry buns broken, and then the shopkeeper doused with a spoonful of hot broth and put it on the fire to cook through. Then Zhao Kuangyin finished the meal with a big mouthful, and he felt that the meal was the best food in the world. Later, Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor. One day, he passed through Chang'an, still can not forget the year ate here boiled beef and mutton steamed buns, with the civil and military ministers specifically to find this store to eat a bowl of boiled beef and mutton steamed buns, after eating still feel fresh and delicious, so the shopkeeper rewarded the store. From then on, the emperor ate steamed bread story spread, beef and mutton steamed bread has become a famous snack on Chang'an Street. Su Dongpo, a great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, once praised "Longzhuan has bear wax, Qin cooking only sheep soup". So if you have a chance, you must taste the local folklore flavor.
In fact, in the Hui Min Snack Street, there are a lot of local characteristics of the jewelry for everyone to buy, we can see that these accessories can be described as a wide range of different types, for example, here is also placed in the world's eighth wonder of the Terracotta Warriors jewelry, so you can buy one or two as a souvenir of the visit to Xi'an. At the same time, we can note that there are a lot of children wearing tiger shoes, red hats and so on, we all know that red represents good luck and goodwill, so I think we still need to buy some souvenirs in Hui Min Street.
Just now we said that the Hui Min Snack Street has a deep cultural connotation, so who knows its origin? As early as a thousand years ago in the Han Dynasty, Hui Min Street was once as the starting point of the Silk Road, ushered in merchants, envoys, students from ancient Arabia, Persia and other places. Then these people were also known as Hui Min later. According to history, many of them came to the prosperous and lively Chang'an City along the Silk Road, and then did business, studied abroad and worked as officials in this area, prospering from generation to generation. Today, this area is home to more than 60,000 Hui Muslims. As a place of Islamic culture inheritance, this area still has many cultural relics such as the Tang Dynasty Hanguang Gate, the Ming Dynasty Xicheng Gate Tower Cluster, many well-preserved mosques, and the Taoist Chenghuang Temple, the Buddhist Xiyutai, and the Lamaist Guangyuan Temple. Numerous streets in the neighborhood have a strong Islamic style, halal food city, ethnic shopping centers and mosques, Muslim living quarters.
We now see the temple is located in the Huajue Lane, was built in the Tang Xuanzong Tianbao years, has been more than 1,200 years of history, and then after the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing several renovation and expansion, and gradually formed a large-scale, compact and harmonious layout of the building pavilions and halls, solemn with the Ming and Qing styles of the huge ancient architectural complex. Its architectural style reflects the organic unity of Islamic culture and traditional Chinese architectural art, and it is by far the most characteristic, best preserved and one of the most typical Chinese mosques in China. The whole temple is divided into 5 courtyards, covering an area of 13,000 square meters. After the government and the temple before and after 30 years of remodeling, not only to maintain the original appearance of the temple, but also added a number of new and temple style consistent with the Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings.
It is believed that through the effective protection of the culture of this zone, the Xi'an Hui Min Historic District will become a tourist attraction area that can reflect the cultural characteristics of our Xi'an, the loess culture, and the characteristics of Muslim culture.
Next, we will rush to our next stop? The Ancient City Wall of Xi'an. On the way to the ancient city wall I will briefly introduce you to the scenic spots along the way, then it is worth mentioning the ancient culture street,
From Xi'an bell tower southbound, almost to the south gate and then turn east, is the Shuyuanmen ancient culture street, the street there is an ancient charm of the tall pagoda, the pagoda above the "Academy Gate," the three gold Yan type characters, on both sides is the "Academy Gate," the ancient culture street, the ancient culture street. Above the pagoda are the three golden characters of "Shuyuanmen", flanked by the eye-catching couplet of "The Forest of Monuments Hides National Treasures, and the Academy Breeds Talented People", from which we can easily see the theme of this street. Obviously, Shuyuanmen is more poetic than the Hui Min Snack Street we just introduced, if you are interested you can go to visit Shuyuanmen, perhaps you will have more to gain here.
Then from the Bell and Drum Tower to the city wall along the way to explain to this end, if you still do not know what place although to ask me, I will try to answer for everyone. At the same time, I sincerely hope that you can play in Xi'an enjoyable, happy!
